Follow His Promptings

The week here was good! We had a really good weekend. Crystil and Anthony were able to join the youth for the temple trip. They were able to do baptisms for the dead and have a really enjoyable experience. The Bishopric asked them to bear their testimonies about it on Sunday at church, so that was awesome to hear! Crystil is excited to continue taking her family back to the temple. Her daughter, Angelica, joined the youth as well. But since she hasn’t been baptized yet, she went to the visitors center and hung out with the visitors center Sisters. The Sisters there talked to her about a Baptismal date and invited her to pray about one. The Sisters were able to really connect with her and talk with her, which was great! She went to a tree on the temple grounds and prayed about a date and had a really cool experience! Her answer was that she should be baptized this upcoming Saturday! We are really excited for her. She has been doing really well and it is great to see her reach this point. 

We had a good week with lots of experiences. We had an exchange on Wednesday. During the exchange, we were driving back to our apartment in the morning to come back for lunch. As we were driving, we felt prompted to pull over and talk to someone. At first we didn’t do it, but then it stayed there, so we followed the prompting and talked with her. She turned out to be really cool and it was a great conversation. We were able to send her as a referral to the Sisters in the neighboring area. It was just another lesson that a) Heavenly Father is always aware of us and He will prompt others to do things to be of help to us. And b) that we need to always follow His promptings. At first we didn’t, but I’m grateful that we did. We just have to always learn to follow the first time it comes, which isn’t always easy!
